PRESS REVIEW

As-Safir newspaper quoted on Monday an unnamed source as saying that several political figures believe that accusing Israel in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is ridiculous and also the reason behind Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s recent speeches.

Nasrallah said earlier last week that he will reveal during a press conference on August 9 irrefutable evidence proving that Israel was behind the assassination.

According to As-Safir, Nasrallah aims to prevent the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) from taking a wrong turn which will then avoid the truth.

Nasrallah’s Monday speech will change the STL’s course, the daily added, stating that Nasrallah claims the tribunal should use his evidence to ensure fairness.

Background - خلفية

On 13 December 2005 the Government of the Lebanese Republic requested the UN to establish a tribunal of an international character to try all those who are alleged responsible for the attack of 14 february 2005 that killed the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and 22 others. The United Nations and the Lebanese Republic consequently negotiated an agreement on the establishment of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
